On WinNT4 and VFP7, the following trick (that I learned on UT) works fine, but it does not work on VFP7 running on XP Pro or Home.

The intent here is to hide the "Printing..." window when running a report. I have seen many people ask how to do this, and I had it working on NT4, but XP seems to ignore it.

Can anyone re-produce this?



DECLARE INTEGER GetDesktopWindow IN WIN32API
DECLARE INTEGER LockWindowUpdate IN WIN32API INTEGER lnHandle

hWin = GetDeskTopWindow()
=LockWindowUpdate(hWin)

report form ...

=LockWindowUpdate(0)
